There are a hundreds of things to remember when moving house, having a checklist when moving will help to get it right and your home move will go smooth; We have created a simple checklist of things that need to be addressed when moving, to make sure your home removal goes without a hitch.

• Confirm your moving Date
  
  
• Prepare an inventory of the furniture, boxes, bags etc. that are being transported.  To make this easy for you.
  
  
• Start getting rid of possessions you no longer need. Decide which items can be taken to a charity shop, sell at car boot sale, or offered to your friends.
  
  
• Advise your house and home contents insurance company that you are moving as they will normally provide free cover for "goods in transit".
  
  
• Ensure that you transport items of high value (eg. jewellery) or sentimental value (eg. photographs, documents) yourself as your
• insurance company is unlikely to be responsible for them.
  
  
It is very important to ensure that delicate or fragile items are adequately packaged to ensure safe transportation and delivery before the removals company arrives.   Unless of course you are paying the removals company extra for a packing service, in which case they will
• bring the packaging materials with them.
  
  
Advise the removals company well in advance if there is to be any furniture that must be dis-assembled / re-assembled.


• You must advise the removals company if there is restricted access to your floor by staircase or lift at either address.
  
  
• Also please advise the removals company if you have any items to be moved that cannot be easily lifted by two men, otherwise they may have to be left behind.
  
  
• Please do not underestimate the number of men required to move all of your goods, as doing so may prevent the move from taking place on the specified date.
  
  
• Put all the items that are not being moved in one specific area and inform all of the movers individually of this area and that they are not being transported. Buy some materials needed for packing for your glassware, dishes for added safety.
